Dear all,
Just a quick note to follow up on a previous discussion thread about Arabic
OCR. I recently came across FreeOCR (
http://www.paperfile.net/lang.html )
which uses Google's Tesseract OCR engine and does a very good job with
Arabic. You can also freely download language support for Hebrew, Thai,
and Vietnamese among others. Hopefully this will be of some service to you
and your departments.
Cheers,
